I'm just trying to lighten the mood and let everyone know that I've chilled out. If I have to embarrass myself a little or tell me corny jokes to get people to laugh, I will.
Hahahaha!!! That's just funny right there. Especially when you and a few others know all to well, that I was the one thrown off a board and personal info published by your little group of prorapers.
Most of the time peoples ears get deformed from stretching because they either did something wrong, or they didn't wait enough time between stretches. You're only supposed to stretch one size at a time, and give your ears enough time to heal between stretches. Every ones healing time can be different, I waited 2-3 months in between each stretch. Took me over a year to go from 8g (what I got pierced with, larger than standard ear piercing size, typical ear piercing is 20g, the smallest jewelry gauge there is, 8g is nearly 4x the size of 20g and as the numbers get smaller, the size gets larger). Stretching too fast or improperly risks bumps, tearing or ripping the earlobes, infection, disfigurement/scarring and blowouts (tissue from inside the hole gets pushed out the back). As far as why, I just wanted to. I think any type of body modification is very intense and expressive, but there is no need to try to define what exactly is being expressed because expression is for the person doing it, not everybody else. I'm also fairly extensively tattooed. My favorite piece right now is my grim reaper that goes from wrist to elbow on the outside of my right forearm. I have wanted a grim reaper tattoo since forever and finally got one a year and a half ago. Most of my tattoos are on my hands and forearms, the rest on my upper arms. Got about 3-4 more to go, then I'm done. One is a cover-up on my left forearm, the other is a new one on my right forearm, and the other is going on the back of my right calf. After that I may someday get a back piece if I ever have the money, but that's kinda doubtful.
Guess the '0's didn't fit the criteria
Actually , it's quite a happy place. But, it was just to easy, I couldn't pass it up.

Have a nice weekend
Lmao way to easy
Point made
Thank sweet baby Jesus, it would have been a downgrade.
That's actually not considered deformed. The only time an ear is considered deformed is if there are blowouts (tissue from inside the hole gets pushed out the back) that won't go back in, tearing, scarring, or permanent bumps. No, that guys ears are normal. The hoop he is wearing is weighted, and stretches the hole by pulling it down. Weights stretch ears more slowly and naturally.Like this?
Actually this is the same thread, I changed the title again just for fun
Did I just read 9 pages of this thread? I certainly did and I can't get my time back.
Uh, I can say that it was entertaining so thank you for that!
NOTE: This is NOT directed at any one person, just my $0.02 worth
It is great to have an area to rant, rave, argue, sympathize, laugh, cry, whine etc.
But in all honesty and respect, I sure hope that NO ONE takes internet stuffs SO SERIOUSLY that it affects their real life.
If you are someone who gets so worked up from posting on an internet forum, here is a suggestion for you...
Unplug your computer, turn off all devices connected to the internet and take a 3 day break.
Go have a drink, take a loved one to dinner, FAP or whatever. Just stay off the MF internet!
Having said that, allow me to share...
Like this man?
That's not from piercing or stretching.Like this man?
OMG! That's fucking gross! Why the fuck would you purposely mutilate yourself like that?Ok so more like this when it starts rotting?
No man hes trying to stretch something like this I imagineOMG! That's fucking gross! Why the fuck would you purposely mutilate yourself like that?
Just don't get the bumps on the forehead, gaping holes in your earlobes and whatever other stupid shit people do to their bodies.
Not getting enough attention? That will get attention, not the good kind like attractive people get but I guess you take what you can get
I have to think these people will seriously regret that shit when they get older and realize they don't need attention from others... well the people in those pics that have parts of their bodies rotting off already regret it, they didn't have to get old to find regret
It's important to note a few things. First. Not everyone does damage to their ears like the ones in those pictures. Those are extreme cases where it looks like in a few cases, they tried to stretch more than one size at a time or didn't leave enough healing time between stretches. At least one of those pictures looks like an infection, which can occur several different ways but the gist of it is bacteria somehow got into the piercing. The damage occurred because these people did not know the proper procedures for how to stretch their ears, how much time they should wait between stretches, and how important it is to keep them clean. I would guess that the infection occurred because that person tore their earlobe a small amount and didn't know it. Sometimes when you cause a slight tear, no blood appears but it can still become infected. The point is, these people did not damage themselves on purpose. They simply did not know what they were doing wrong. Second. It is true that some people choose body modification for the attention that it brings. But to assume that attention is the reason everyone does it, is stereotyping and shows a lack of understanding. Body modification is intended to be expressive. For people that understand this and modify their bodies for the purposes of expression, they are actually doing it for themselves, not for everyone to look at. People want to express different things about themselves, and they choose body modification as a medium for expressing those things. I am extensively tattooed and I have stretched earlobes. My ears are currently stretched to 00g, which is 10mm in diameter. That is not very large and certainly not a gaping hole. I do not plan on stretching any further. I got my tattoos because I wanted them. Same reason I stretched my ears. I did not do it because I wanted attention. I am a very introverted person. Attention from random people is the last thing I want. I accept and understand that body modification brings attention, but that doesn't mean attention is my reason for doing it. I do it to fulfill my need for self-expression, no one needs to understand what I am trying to express nor do I attempt to explain it to anyone. Those who are capable of understanding the concept of self-expression know that others will not always understand what you are trying to express about yourself, and you do not need them to. If I write a song, that's self expression because I am expressing how I feel about something through music. Yet, others will hear the song and interpret it in many different ways. Some will understand it perfectly, and others will miss the point completely. But I didn't write the song because I needed to play it for others or need them to understand it perfectly. It is the same with all forms of self expression, including body modification. It's OK if you don't understand this, but please don't stereotype people for doing something that you don't understand.OMG! That's fucking gross! Why the fuck would you purposely mutilate yourself like that?
